Ok I’ve moved the thread that started this discussion to a publicly viewable section: [https://elixirforum.com/t/can-you-increase-post-edit-time-limit/6080](https://elixirforum.com/t/can-you-increase-post-edit-time-limit/6080)

With regards to real world problems we have several categories where the first post needs to be kept up-to-date, this includes:

**Developer Profiles** (example thread: [Tom - Elixir developer - Dev Profiles - Elixir Programming Language Forum](https://elixirforum.com/t/tom-elixir-developer/3547))

**Libraries** (example thread: [Meeseeks - A library for extracting data from HTML and XML with CSS or XPath selectors - #4 by brightball - Announcing - Elixir Programming Language Forum](https://elixirforum.com/t/meeseeks-a-library-for-extracting-data-from-html-now-with-xpath-selectors/4315/4))

We also have sections for user’s **Projects** where I would also switch on extended editing for the first post, as well as a Learning Resources category which includes sub-sections that also act as an information resource that may need to be kept updated (we have a dedicated thread for [each book](https://elixirforum.com/t/functional-web-development-with-elixir-otp-and-phoenix-pragprog/4231), [course](https://elixirforum.com/t/elixir-for-programmers-online-course-by-pragdave-20-off/6335), etc)

I don’t think it’s just this forum that would benefit from it, on a dog forum for example, we could have threads that act as a profile for user’s dogs, on a car forum, a thread for user’s cars etc. More generally, it could be useful for guides, how-to’s etc which need to be kept updated.

Traditionally, threads like these on forums become ‘stale’ - it would be great if we can avoid that with Discourse 🙂
